What settings do I adjust to only affect Windows Media Player, RealPlayer or
QuickTime windows without changing everything else? Most video windows need
to be brighter to bring out the detail.

If you have WMP10, open up the player and a video file. Up the top, just
under the 'Now Playing' tab you'll notice a funny green arrow thing. Click
it, go down to enhancements, then select 'Show Enhancements' in that
submenu.

Now down the bottom, underneath the video file, navigate back or forwards
through the various (pointless) 'enhancements' available until you reach
'Video Settings'. Ta-da! You can alter Hue, Brightness, Saturation or
Contrast. Changes are made availble, IIRC, only while the movie is playing,
and I don't think they're saved. So you'll need to adjust the brightness
each time you use WMP, and maybe each time you play a new file even in the
same session.

Happy fiddling!
